On the show we see Robb and Talisa's relationship developing before the marriage (she's a nurse and was about to saw a man's foot off after battle), which is different from the book because Jeyne 'came out of nowhere' onto Robb's lap.

Well, they got married, I'm sure he would make an effort to love her if he hadn't fall in love w/ her.

Maybe the guy was addressing the theory that Jon would be Rhaegar and Lyanna's son, which would make him not Rhaegar's legitimate son, but his bastard since he and Lyanna weren't married. Robert does have a bastard w/ a highborn woman, Edric Storm, but he's not on the show.

Hahaha! I've been reading the books and I see…

If the whole theory (and I'm mentioning because it IS a THEORY, not a spoiler) that Jon is Lyanna's son/ Ned's nephew is true, Jon would be safer as a member of the Night's Watch than just Ned's bastard. Jon decided to go before Robert died and Ned knew if his friend knew (in case the theory is right), he would kill…

So you thought the story was about the Starks and how they would win the War of Five Kings, etc. ... and it doesn't happen like that. The show has lots of other characters, some other important families will show up next season ... . Just adjust your perspective (no wonder we have sooooo many cores [Dany, Jon, King's…

Martin stated that when Ned died, he knew he had to kill Robb to show there wouldn't be someone avenging what happened to Lord Stark. You can read it, I believe, in his EW interview.

What saddens me is that now the Red Wedding has happened on TV, some folks fell free to disclosure other spoilers of what happens next to the characters that were there. Come on, guys, let it happen on TV first ... don't be stonehearted ;)

Same here. Laughed so hard I cried and felt I was about to explode.

Jeyne =/= Talisa. Same outcome, totally different paths.

Yeah, he forgot we live in the society torture porn movies are successful. -_-

Benjen Stark, Ned's own brother, went to The Wall. I don't think he would object Jon's decision.

And Robb only married Jeyne in the book because she's of a noble house and he felt guilty for being her first; for example, King Robert had a highborn bastard (Edric Storm) and he was recognized as his son only because of his mother's status.

Jorah is the Lord of the Friendzone, period. Dany has her eyes set on Daario and Grey Worm was castrated, which makes the fact he has a deep voice very weird.

And about Daario's new look ... thank you, HBO!

Funny, I always thought he was. I think it's the last name.

I read a bunch of posts here and some have interesting points. Anyway, Sarkeesian is making a series, so don't expect everything to be answered in just one or two videos. It is a valid debate to instigate and I believe we'll fully understand (and even appreciate it) when she's done.

Maybe because Martin decided they are to be feared more than the Freys. Don't get me wrong, the Freys suck a lot, however (as far as I know) they weren't playing the Starks like Roose Bolton was (was on their side, changed, conspired, got Jaime back only to seal the deal w/ Tywin, etc.).

"I suppose today we'd probably say flaying people alive, but back then, (if this was real, obviously) they'd say guest right."

I know some folks already posted here saying we only need our hands and stuff ... . I don't care, I like beautiful and functional designs.

I wish I were this creative.

No, I don't think Dan Brown is even a good writer, but I like Martin's writing. I dislike the movies based on Dan Brown's work and like the show based on Martin's, thanks for asking.

It is also known as primae noctis. Basically it is/was the right of a lord/king to have his way w/ a woman, taking her virginity, after her marriage (assuming she was a virgin at the time). There is also a different, but similar understanding that a lord/king had the right to deflower all maiden daughters of their…
